Excavation and Trenching Critical Control Checklist

This critical control checklist helps supervisors and crews manage risks during excavation and trenching. It guides positive identification of underground services, HV isolation and clearances, permits, benching, battering or shoring for stability, safe plant positioning outside the zone of influence, fall protection and barricading, slew radius exclusion, and emergency readiness. Use it to verify controls, document inspections, and keep workers safe on site.

Working Near Live Services Safety Audit

This audit template helps teams manage the risks of working near live services during excavation and overhead activities. It covers identifying and communicating live utilities, confirming isolation certificates, marking buried services on plans and at ground level, and using CAT equipment for service location. It prompts verification of up-to-date excavation permits, contingency planning for potential service strikes, and safe methods such as hand digging when close to indicated lines. Overhead power line controls include consulting the electricity company, setting goalpost systems, signage, demarcation barriers, scaffolds or fans, and maintaining minimum clearances (e.g., 6 m plus full jib length).

Excavation Risk Assessment Checklist

This excavation risk assessment template helps teams identify and control hazards during trenching and digging work. Use it to log hazards such as impact with underground services, crushing, falls from height and falling objects, reduced stability of nearby structures, vehicle collisions, hazardous substances in the ground, and access or egress issues. Rate severity and likelihood using a 5x5 risk matrix, then record controls and further actions. The template includes roles for assessor and participants, sign offs, and guidance to improve site safety for construction and civil works.

Underground Site Safety Inspection Checklist

This underground construction site inspection checklist helps crews and supervisors audit safety and compliance across critical areas of underground work. Review traffic control measures, safety meetings, risk assessments, and communications. Verify mobile equipment training, pre-shift inspections, alarms, and housekeeping. Check utility identification, spotter use, PPE, trenching and excavation controls, and confined space permits and gear. Cover environmental controls such as SWPPP, dust, and track-out, plus lifting and rigging, subcontractor compliance, site access and egress, maintenance practices, and first aid and SDS availability.
